The “Phasis one” ultrasonic testing device from Vogt Ultrasonics guarantees reliable spot weld testing with imaging using phased array technology. With a physical resolution not previously achieved by comparable devices, there is a precise statement about the diameter of the weld nugget and the remaining wall thickness in the area of the weld.
In addition, the tester receives the information about the sound attenuation caused by the structural change as an evaluation criterion for bonds or zinc adhesive connections. The test device is suitable for checking resistance-welded points on steel and aluminum sheets.
The test time is only a few seconds per point. With Phasis one it is possible to check about 500 to 800 checkpoints per layer and device. The 121 ultrasonic elements produce a physical resolution better than 0.35 mm of weld nugget diameter. The imaging of phased array technology guarantees reliable evaluation of the test results. Defects in the weld such as pores or a too small weld nugget are reliably detected. Thanks to its five-hour battery operation, only 3,5 kg weight and robust aluminum housing, the device is suitable for mobile use not only in the automotive industry.
The administration software "Phasis Manager" supports the user with a surface scan for optimal alignment of the probe on the weld point to be tested. The test plans are clearly structured and can be created quickly. Individually adaptable interfaces take over the communication with the customer's database. The testing and evaluation software Phasis Device is designed for use in the production process. It can be operated intuitively and requires little training.
